Julian Assange today was granted bail by a London court, thanks to Frontline Club founder Vaughan Smith, who offered up a Suffolk mansion to the WikiLeaks founder. The one-time hacker will be kept, “if not under house arrest, at least under mansion arrest,” Assange attorney Geoffrey Robinson said.
Assange’s passport will be kept by British police. He will also be fitted with a tracking tag, required to stay at the mansion at least eight hours a day (four during the day and four at night). Assange will be required to check into London police every day between 6 and 8 PM.
The court set bail at 200,000 pounds (about $315,000). Two sureties of $31,500 each will be tacked on top of that. His next hearing is scheduled for January 11th.
